NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto

hereby agree that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Agent for the benefit of one or more of the Purchasers. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Company may, at its option, instruct the Agent to purchase on behalf of such Company, or if any Company shall decline to purchase, the Agent shall purchase, on behalf of such declining Company’s Related Financial Institutions, Purchaser Interests from time to time in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate for all Sellers at such time (i) in the case of each Company and its Related Financial Institutions, the Company’s Company Purchase Limit and (ii) in the aggregate, the lesser of (A) the Purchase Limit and (B) the aggregate amount of the Commitments during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Seller may, at its option, request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the terms hereof. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the LC Bank hereby agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make Participation Advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such LC Participant’s LC Share of such draws), undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchaser Interests from the Sellers from time to time from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Purchaser be obligated to make any purchase or reinvestment (including, without limitation, any Purchases deemed to have been requested by the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.1(d)) or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if after giving effect to such Purchase:

(i) Any event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such purchase, issuance or reinvestment, that constitutes an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event;

(ii) The Group Capital of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Group Capital Limit;

(iii) The Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit;

(iv) The LC Participation Amount would exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Maximum Available LC Commitments of the LC Participants and (B) the Maximum LC Amount; or

(v) The Purchaser Interests would exceed the Maximum Purchaser Interest Percentage.

The Sellers may, subject to this Section 1.1(c) and the other requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any purchase by the Purchasers hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to Section 1.9 below.

(d) In the event any Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor) pursuant to Section 1.9, then such Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested an Incremental Purchase from the Purchasers, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in Section 1.1(c) above and the other requirements and conditions herein, the Companies may, or if any Company shall decline to purchase, its Related Financial Institutions shall, fund such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Agent to be immediately distributed (ratably) to the LC Bank and the applicable LC Participants in satisfaction of such Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.9 and Section 1.11 below, to the extent of amounts permitted to be funded by such Companies or Related Financial Institutions, as applicable, at such time, hereunder.

(e) The Administrative Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Agent, each Company and each Financial Institution, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Capital Limit, in each case after giving effect to such reduction); provided that (i) any such notice shall be irrevocable, (ii) each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (iii) the aggregate of the Company Purchase Limits for all of the Companies shall also be terminated in whole or reduced in part, ratably among the Companies, by an amount equal to such termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit. In addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder, in the case of a termination of this Agreement or the Purchase Limit in whole, no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Participation Amount.

(f) Notwithstanding that SunTrust is a Company hereunder, SunTrust will not fund its purchase of its Purchaser Interests through the issuance of Commercial Paper and shall accordingly accrue Yield with respect to its Purchaser Interests.

Section 1.2 Increases. The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent with at least two Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) to be made by a Seller. Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, (i) shall be irrevocable and shall specify the

requested Purchase Price (which, in the case of the initial Incremental Purchase hereunder shall not be less than $10,000,000 and in the case of subsequent Incremental Purchases shall not be less than $1,000,000), (ii) the date of purchase (which, in the case of Incremental Purchases after the initial Incremental Purchase hereunder, shall not exceed four per calendar month), (iii) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any of the Financial Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period and (iv) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any Pool Company (other than an Incremental Purchase funded by such Pool Company substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper), the requested CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Agent will promptly notify each Company of such Purchase Notice and the Agent will identify the Companies that agree to make the purchase. If any Company declines to make a proposed purchase, the Administrative Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchasers no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of purchase specified in the Purchase Notice or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser Interest, which such Company has declined to purchase, will be made by such declining Company’s Related Financial Institutions in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2. If the proposed Incremental Purchase or any portion thereof is to be made by any of the Financial Institutions, the Agent shall send notice of the proposed Incremental Purchase to the applicable Financial Institutions concurrently by telecopier, telex or cable specifying (i) the date of such Incremental Purchase, which date must be at least one Business Day after such notice is received by the applicable Financial Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing and (iii) the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, the Companies and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall use their reasonable best efforts to deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), and in any event no later than 3:00 pm (New York time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Company that has agreed to make such Incremental Purchase, such Company’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests of such Incremental Purchase or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing. Each Financial Institution’s Commitment hereunder shall be limited to purchasing Purchaser Interests that the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group has declined to purchase.

Section 1.3 Decreases. The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent with an irrevocable prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections and the Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser of such Reduction Notice after Agent’s receipt thereof. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced that shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Companies and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Companies (ratably to each Company, based on the ratio of such Company’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all the Companies at such time), on the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the

Financial Institutions (ratably to each Financial Institution, based on the ratio of such Financial Institution’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all of the Financial Institutions at such time), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. Concurrently with any reduction of Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, the Sellers shall pay to the Agent, for distribution to the applicable Purchasers, all Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction. Without the prior written consent of the Agent, no Aggregate Reduction will be made (x) following the occurrence of the Amortization Date or (y) at any time any Reimbursement Obligations remain outstanding on any Letters of Credit.

Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents shall be paid or deposited in immediately available funds in accordance with the terms hereof. Such Seller Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to pay or deposit all such amounts no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due. Any such payment or deposit not received by 2:00 pm (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser, they shall be paid to the Agent for distribution to such Purchaser at the “Payment Address” specified for such Purchaser on Schedule A or such other address specified in writing to the Agent. If such amounts are payable to the Agent, they shall be paid to the Agent at 245 Park Avenue, 37^th Floor, New York, NY 10167 until otherwise notified by the Agent. Upon notice to the Administrative Seller, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable hereunder. All computations of Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under any Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be payable on a day that is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.5 Obligations Several. Each Financial Institution’s and LC Participant’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Financial Institution or LC Participant to make available to any Seller any funds in connection with any purchase hereunder or drawing under any Letter of Credit hereunder, as the case may be, shall not relieve any other Financial Institution or LC Participant of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no Financial Institution or LC Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financial Institution or LC Participant to make funds available in connection with any purchase.

Section 1.6 Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit on behalf of the Sellers (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, related Originators or Affiliates thereof in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originators or Affiliates may elect with the consent of the applicable Seller); provided, however, that the LC Bank will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that after giving effect thereto the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause (A) the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or (B) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the aggregate of the LC Amounts of the LC Participants (other than LC Participants who are Defaulting Purchasers). All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Yield for each

day such drawn amounts shall have not been reimbursed in the same manner that Yield accrues for Financial Institutions in accordance with Article IV.

(a) Each Seller may request the LC Bank, upon two Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 12:00 noon (New York time), to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the LC Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Exhibit IX attached hereto and a Purchase Notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit II hereto, in each case completed to the satisfaction of the LC Bank; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the LC Bank may reasonably request. Each Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the LC Bank upon any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, and in no event later than twelve (12) months after the Liquidity Termination Date. The terms of each Letter of Credit may include customary “evergreen” provisions providing that such Letter of Credit’s expiry date shall automatically be extended for additional periods not to exceed twelve (12) months unless, not less than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) (the “Notice Date”) prior to the applicable expiry date, the LC Bank delivers written notice to the beneficiary thereof declining such extension; provided, however, that if (x) any such extension would cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to occur after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Liquidity Termination Date or (y) the LC Bank determines that any condition precedent (including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 1.1(c), Article VI or Schedule B) to issuing such Letter of Credit hereunder (as if such Letter of Credit were then being first issued) are not satisfied (other than any such condition requiring the Administrative Seller or the related Seller to submit a Purchase Notice or Letter of Credit Application in respect thereof), then the LC Bank, in the case of clause (x) above, may (or, at the written direction of any LC Participant, shall) or, in the case of clause (y) above, shall, use reasonable efforts in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of such Letter of Credit to prevent the extension of such expiry date (including notifying the related Seller and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in writing prior to the Notice Date that such expiry date will not be so extended). Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank.

(c) The LC Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and each LC Participant, at such Person’s address for notices hereunder, of the request by a Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the Agent and the LC Participants with the Letter of Credit

Application and Purchase Notice delivered by such Seller pursuant to paragraph (a), above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 12:00 noon (New York time) on such day, on the next Business Day.

(d) Immediately upon the issuance by the LC Bank of any Letter of Credit (or any amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), the LC Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each LC Participant, and each LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the LC Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such LC Participant’s LC Share, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the related Seller hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or LC Shares of the LC Participants pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings thereunder, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this clause (d) to reflect the new LC Shares of the assignor and assignee LC Participant or of all LC Participants with Commitments, as the case may be. In the event that the LC Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the related Seller shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the LC Bank pursuant to Section 1.9(b), each LC Participant shall be obligated to make Participation Advances with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.9(c).

(e) With respect to each Letter of Credit, the applicable Sellers shall pay to the LC Bank all fronting fees or similar fees as and when due and owing with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Fee Letter (the “Fronting Fees”). The applicable Sellers shall pay to the LC Bank, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, all customary expenses incurred by the LC Bank in connection with each Letter of Credit issued by it or the maintenance thereof and its customary drawing, amendment, renewal, extension, processing, transfer and other applicable customary fees (collectively, “Other LC Fees”).

Section 1.8 Requirements for Issuance of Letters of Credit. Each Seller shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name such Seller, a related Originator or an Affiliate thereof as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit issued on its behalf.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each LC Participant shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the LC Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such LC Participant’s LC Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Agent and the related Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the related Seller shall reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any such drawing (each such obligation, a “Reimbursement Obligation”) prior to (i) 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”), if

Seller shall have received notice of such drawing prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on such Drawing Date or (ii) 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date (or the date on which Seller shall have received such notice), if Seller shall have received notice of such drawing after 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Drawing Date (or such other date). In the event the related Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit as and when required in accordance with the foregoing sentence (including because the conditions precedent to a purchase deemed to have been requested by such Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(d) to reimburse the LC Bank shall not have been satisfied), the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof. Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate written confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such oral notice.

(c) Each LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 1.9(b) above make available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its LC Share of the amount of the drawing (a “Participation Advance”), whereupon the LC Participants shall each be deemed to have purchased additional Purchaser Interests in that amount. If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s LC Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Capital on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this Section 1.9(c), provided that such LC Participant shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in subclauses (i) and (ii) above until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the LC Bank or the Agent of a drawing. Each LC Participant’s Commitment to make Participation Advances shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 4.6 or the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than a Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

(a) As a condition precedent to the obligation of the LC Bank to issue Letters of Credit and the obligation of LC Participants to make Participation Advances, the Administrative Seller shall have established the LC Collateral Account. The related Sellers or Administrative Seller, as applicable, shall deposit in such LC Collateral Account:

(i) pursuant to, but without duplication of, Sections 2.3 and 2.4, from and after the Facility Termination Date, the amount necessary to cash collateralize the LC Participation Amount with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit until the amount of cash collateral held in the LC Collateral Account equals 100% of the LC Participation

Amount plus the amount of all LC Fees to accrue thereon through the scheduled expiration of the related Letters of Credit;

(ii) on or before the date of the related reduction of the Purchase Limit, the amounts required to be deposited into the LC Collateral Account in connection with a termination or reduction pursuant to Section 1.1(e); and

(iii) on or before the related Termination Date, the amounts required to be deposited into the LC Collateral Account in connection with Terminating Financial Institutions pursuant to Section 4.6.

(b) Amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the LC Bank for Reimbursement Obligations for which it has not been reimbursed or, if the Amortization Date has occurred and all Letters of Credit have been terminated, shall be applied to satisfy other Aggregate Unpaids. If on any Settlement Date, the balance in the LC Collateral Account exceeds the amount required to be held therein as of such Settlement Date, then, unless an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event shall exist and be continuing, the Agent shall release such excess to the applicable Seller.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the related Seller (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a Participation Advance to the LC Bank, or (ii) in payment of Yield on the additional Purchaser Interests purchased or deemed to have been purchased in connection with any such draw, the LC Bank will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.

(b) If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to any Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by such Seller to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its LC Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.

Section 1.12 Documentation. Each Seller agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for such Seller and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case

of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

Section 1.13 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

Section 1.14 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each LC Participant’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Seller to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such LC Participant may have against the LC Bank, the Agent, the Purchasers, the Seller Parties or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(b) the failure of the related Seller or any other Person to comply with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a purchase, reinvestments, requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of Participation Advances hereunder;

(c) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which a Seller, an Originator or any Affiliate thereof on behalf of which a Letter of Credit has been issued may have against the LC Bank, the Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(d) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Seller Party, the LC Bank or any LC Participant against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Seller Party, the LC Bank or any LC Participant may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any LC Participant, the Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(e) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument,

certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Agent or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;

(f) payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;

(g) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(h) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the related Seller, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from such Seller of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished such Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit has returned the same to the LC Bank;

(i) any Material Adverse Effect on any Seller, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;

(j) any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any party thereto;

(k) the occurrence or continuance of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Seller, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

(l) the fact that an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

(m) the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of any Seller Party hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(n) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 1.15 Indemnity. In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, each Seller Party hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which the Agent, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as

determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”), and provided that no Servicer shall have any reimbursement obligation with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit. This Section 1.15 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges or other expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(a) As between the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and the Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants and the Purchasers, on the other, the Seller Parties assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants or the Purchasers shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank or any LC Participant shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Seller Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Seller Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants and the Purchasers, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants or the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, be liable to any Seller Party or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants and the Purchasers and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any written

communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants or the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to any Seller Party, any LC Participant or any other Person.

Section 1.17 Intended Tax Treatment. All parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat any purchase of Purchaser Interests and any drawing on a Letter of Credit under this Agreement as debt for all federal income tax purposes. All parties to this Agreement agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing.

Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, the Sellers shall immediately pay to the Agent or the LC Bank, as applicable, when due, for the account of the Agent, the LC Bank or the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set forth in each Fee Letter (which fees collectively shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Financial Institutions and other Funding Sources), (ii) all CP Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by the Sellers and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs (any request for reimbursement of which shall be accompanied by a certificate in reasonable detail demonstrating

the reasonable calculation of any such amount), (ix) all Default Fees and (x) all Reimbursement Obligations (collectively, the “Obligations”). If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations (other than the Default Fee) when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time any Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, such Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the applicable Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by such Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agent.

Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by each Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by such Servicer for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids, for deposit into the LC Collateral Account or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by any Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) such Servicer shall deposit any amounts required to be deposited by its related Seller or Sellers to the LC Collateral Account pursuant to Section 1.10, shall set aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections and/or Deemed Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial Institution and of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, shall set aside Collections to be used to effect any Aggregate Reduction in accordance with Section 1.3 and shall set aside amounts necessary to pay Obligations due on the next succeeding Settlement Date and (ii) each Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection and Deemed Collection received by any Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, of any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt (but giving effect to any ratable reduction thereof pursuant to application of an Aggregate Reduction); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to any such Reinvestment, the Aggregate Capital plus the Adjusted LC Participation Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit then in effect, then the Servicers shall instead set aside and hold in trust for the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers), and shall, at the request of the Agent, segregate in a separate account approved by the Agent, a portion of such Collections and Deemed Collections that, together with the other Collections and Deemed Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to cause the Aggregate Capital plus the Adjusted LC Participation Amount to not exceed such Purchase Limit (determined as if such Collections and Deemed Collections set aside had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital at such time), which amount shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3 as an Aggregate Reduction in respect of Aggregate Capital on the following Settlement Date. On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall remit to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account the amounts set aside

during the preceding Settlement Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment or applied in respect of an Aggregate Reduction and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce unpaid CP Costs, Yield and other Obligations and second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, applied ratably to such Terminating Financial Institution and each such Company according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Capital, CP Costs, Yield and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by any Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account to the extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date, (ii) shall be deposited into the LC Collateral Account until all amounts required to be deposited to the LC Collateral Amount in accordance with Section 1.10 have been deposited therein, (iii) to pay any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee, and (iv) any balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from such Servicer to the Sellers on such Settlement Date. Such Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to remit all deposit amounts to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Settlement Date. Any such amounts not received by Agent or the applicable Purchaser by 2:00 pm (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Terminating Financial Institution and the Company in such Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall be collectively allocated a ratable portion of Collections from its Termination Date until, with respect to a Terminating Financial Institution, such Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital, if any, shall be paid in full and, with respect to a related Company (i) if any Related Financial Institution with respect to such Company continues to exist, the Capital of such Company is equal to the Company Purchase Limit (as reduced pursuant to Section 4.6(a)) of such Company or (ii) if there are no Related Financial Institutions with respect to such Company, the Capital of such Company shall be paid in full. The applicable ratable portion shall be calculated, with respect to any Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company, on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company as a percentage equal to (i) the Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”). Each Terminating Financial Institution’s and applicable Company’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating Financial Institution’s and each applicable Company’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions and Companies in accordance with Section 2.3.

Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicers shall set aside and hold in trust, for the holder of each Purchaser Interest and the Servicers, all Collections received on such day and an additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids owed by the Sellers and not previously paid by the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.1. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Agent (i) remit to the Agent’s, the applicable Servicer’s or applicable Purchaser’s account the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Capital associated with each such Purchaser Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids and to pay any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee and (iii) deposit

any amounts required to be deposited by its related Seller or Sellers to the LC Collateral Account pursuant to Section 1.10.

Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Servicers to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicers shall distribute funds to the applicable payee:

first, to the payment of each Servicer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, provided no Seller nor any of its Affiliates is then acting as a Servicer,

second, to the reimbursement of the Agent’s and the Purchasers’ costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement,

third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letters, CP Costs and Yield,

fourth, (to the extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Capital,

fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations, provided that to the extent such Obligations relate to the payment of Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, when any Seller or any of its Affiliates is acting as a Servicer, such costs and expenses will not be paid until clause seventh hereof,

sixth, to the LC Collateral Account any amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 1.10,

seventh, to pay all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, to the extent not paid under clause first or fifth hereof, and

eighth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to the Administrative Seller for ratable distribution to the Sellers.

Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4 above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.

Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Each Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Each Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate a percentage equal to (x) 100%, multiplied by (y) the LC Adjustment Percentage (the “Maximum Purchaser Interest Percentage”). If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds the Maximum Purchaser Interest Percentage, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchasers (ratably based on the ratio of each Purchaser’s Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time) within one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than the Maximum Purchaser Interest Percentage.

Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. In addition to the Sellers’ rights pursuant to Section 1.3, the Sellers shall have the right, upon two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Purchasers, at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 20.0% of the Purchase Limit hereunder, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids (including any Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such repurchase) through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or the Agent.

Section 3.1 CP Costs. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.1(f), the Sellers shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of the Companies for each day that any Capital in respect of any such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the applicable Pool Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. Each Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company not funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper shall accrue CP Costs for each day during its CP (Tranche) Accrual Period at the rate determined in accordance with the definition of “Company Costs” set forth in Exhibit I.

Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On the applicable Settlement Date for each Purchaser Interest of the Companies, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Company an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such Company with CP (Pool) Accrual Periods or CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods which end on such Settlement Date.

Section 3.3 Calculation of Pool Company Costs. On the third Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Pool Company shall calculate the aggregate amount of its Company Costs with respect to all Purchaser Interests funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper for the applicable CP (Pool) Accrual Period or CP (Tranche) Accrual Period and shall notify the Administrative Seller of such aggregate amount of such Company Costs due and payable on such Settlement Date.

(a) In the case of Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company, the Administrative Seller may (and following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event but prior to the Amortization Date, shall with consultation from, and approval by, each Pool Company), from time to time request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company other than those funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, provided, that (i) the consent of the Agent and each Purchaser shall be required, (ii) the Administrative Seller must elect CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for all Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company, such that after giving effect to such election, no Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company is funded with Pooled Commercial Paper and (iii) the Administrative Seller may only make such election once hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Seller or the applicable Company, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a CP (Tranche) Accrual Period (the “Terminating CP Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating CP Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating CP Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating CP Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser Interest (other than a Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper) to be purchased on the day such Terminating CP Tranche ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchasers be combined with a Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

(c) The Administrative Seller shall, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating CP Tranche occurring prior to the Amortization Date, give the applicable Company (or its agent) irrevocable notice of the new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period associated with such Terminating CP Tranche and the amount of Capital to be allocated to such new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. The Administrative Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Company (or its agent) receives it no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day such request is being made. Any such request not received by the applicable Company by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 4.1 Financial Institution Funding. Each Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until the Administrative Seller gives notice to the Agent of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Alternate Base Rate. If any Purchaser Interest of any Company is assigned or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source of such Company pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to or by any other Person, each such Purchaser Interest so assigned, transferred or funded shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such transfer or funding and shall accrue Yield

for each day during its Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof as if each such Purchaser Interest was held by a Financial Institution, and with respect to each such Purchaser Interest, the transferee thereof or lender with respect thereto shall be deemed to be a Financial Institution in the transferring Company’s Purchaser Group for purposes hereof; provided that until the Administrative Seller gives notice to the Agent of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest so transferred shall be the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Financial Institution an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution for the entire Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest.

(a) In the case of Purchaser Interests of any Financial Institution in a Purchaser Group which includes SunTrust or PNC, each Tranche Period for such Purchaser Interests shall be determined pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Tranche Period. In the case of Purchaser Interests of any Financial Institution in any other Purchaser Group, the Administrative Seller shall, with consultation from, and approval by, the applicable Financial Institution (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), from time to time prior to the Amortization Date request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3(a), if at any time any Financial Institution (other than any Financial Institution in a Purchaser Group which includes SunTrust or PNC) shall have a Purchaser Interest, the Administrative Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at least one Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.3(a), the Administrative Seller or the applicable Financial Institution, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser Interest to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchasers be combined with a Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

Section 4.4 Financial Institution Discount Rates. The Administrative Seller may select the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions. The Administrative Seller shall: (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Alternate Base Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the applicable Financial Institution irrevocable notice of the new Discount

Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. (If the Administrative Seller fails to request a new Discount Rate with respect to a Terminating Tranche pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche shall be the Alternate Base Rate.) The Administrative Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Financial Institution receives it no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day such request is being made. Any such request not received by the applicable Financial Institution by 2:00 pm (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. Until the Administrative Seller gives notice to the applicable Financial Institution of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof (or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to or by any other Person) shall be the Alternate Base Rate.

(a) If any Financial Institution notifies the Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group at the LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interests at the LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) the LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at the LIBO Rate, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of the LIBO Rate for the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and require Seller to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Purchaser Interest funded by the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group accruing Yield at the LIBO Rate.

(b) If less than all of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group give a notice to the Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Financial Institution which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of the Administrative Seller, the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Financial Institution in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or (ii) another funding entity nominated by the Administrative Seller or the Agent, in either case that is acceptable to the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial Institution; provided that (i) the notifying Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and all other accrued but unpaid Aggregate Unpaids owing to such notifying Financial Institution, and (ii) the replacement Financial Institution otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

(a) The Administrative Seller may request one or more 364-day extensions of the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect by giving written notice of such request to the Agent (each such notice an “Extension Notice”) at least 90 days prior to the Liquidity

Termination Date then in effect. After the Agent’s receipt of any Extension Notice, the Agent shall promptly advise each Financial Institution of such Extension Notice. Each Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, by a written irrevocable notice (a “Consent Notice”) given to the Agent on or prior to the 30th day prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect (such period from the date of the Extension Notice to such 30th day being referred to herein as the “Consent Period”), consent to such extension of such Liquidity Termination Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to a Financial Institution if such Financial Institution: (i) notifies the Agent during the Consent Period that such Financial Institution does not wish to consent to such extension or (ii) fails to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period (each Financial Institution that does not wish to consent to such extension or fails to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period is herein referred to as a “Nonrenewing Financial Institution”). If at the end of the Consent Period, there is no Nonrenewing Financial Institution then, the Liquidity Termination Date shall be irrevocably extended until the date that is 364 days after the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect. If at the end of the Consent Period there is a Nonrenewing Financial Institution, then unless such Nonrenewing Financial Institution assigns its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.6(b) (each such Nonrenewing Financial Institution whose rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents are not so assigned is herein referred to as a “Terminating Financial Institution”), the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days with respect to all Financial Institutions other than the Terminating Financial Institution; provided, however, that (i) the Purchase Limit shall be reduced on the Termination Date applicable to each Terminating Financial Institution by an aggregate amount equal to the Terminating Commitment Availability of each Terminating Financial Institution and shall thereafter continue to be reduced by amounts equal to any reduction in the Capital of any Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3), (ii) the Company Purchase Limit of each Company shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Terminating Commitment Amount of each Terminating Financial Institution in such Company’s Purchaser Group, (iii) the Commitment of each Terminating Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on the Termination Date applicable to such Terminating Financial Institution and (iv) no such extension shall be effective unless, on or before the related Termination Date for any LC Participant, the Seller Parties shall deposit into the LC Collateral Account an amount equal to such LC Participant’s LC Share of the LC Participation Amount. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) and payment of all Aggregate Unpaids owed to such Terminating Financial Institution, all rights and obligations of such Terminating Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Terminating Financial Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution”; provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Terminating Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Terminating Financial Institution that was an LC Participant shall (A) remain obligated to make Participation Advances in respect of any Letters of Credit that were outstanding as of immediately before its Termination Date (other than any such Letters of Credit that have expired or have subsequently been terminated, increased or extended), until the date on which its LC Share of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited into the LC Collateral Account in accordance with this Section 4.6(a), up to an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, (x) its LC Share of the LC

Participation Amount as of its Termination Date minus (y) any amounts deposited into the LC Collateral Account in respect of such Terminating Financial Institution in accordance with Section 1.10(a)(iii), and (B) remain entitled to all rights inuring to its benefit with respect to such Participation Advances (including without limitation all rights to indemnification, reimbursement and Yield with respect to such Participation Advances).

(b) Upon receipt of notice from the Agent pursuant to Section 4.6(a) of any Nonrenewing Financial Institution, one or more of the Financial Institutions (including any Nonrenewing Financial Institution) may proffer to the Agent and the Company in such Nonrenewing Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group the names of one or more institutions meeting the criteria set forth in Section 12.1(b)(i) that are willing to accept assignments of and assume the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents of the Nonrenewing Financial Institution. Provided the proffered name(s) are acceptable to the Agent and the Company in such Nonrenewing Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, the Agent shall notify the remaining Financial Institutions of such fact, and the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days upon satisfaction of the conditions for an assignment in accordance with Section 12.1, and the Commitment of such Nonrenewing Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero.

(c) Any requested extension may be approved or disapproved by a Financial Institution in its sole discretion. In the event that the Commitments are not extended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Commitment of each Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on the Liquidity Termination Date. Upon reduction to zero of the Commitment of a Financial Institution and upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution all rights and obligations of such Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Financial Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution”; provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Financial Institution that was an LC Participant shall (A) remain obligated to make Participation Advances in respect of any Letters of Credit that were outstanding as of immediately before the Liquidity Termination Date (other than any such Letters of Credit that have expired or have subsequently been terminated, increased or extended), until there has been deposited into the LC Collateral Account in accordance with Section 1.10(a)(i), an amount equal to (x) the LC Participation Amount minus (y) any amounts held in the LC Collateral Account, and (B) remain entitled to all rights inuring to its benefit with respect to such Participation Advances (including without limitation all rights to indemnification, reimbursement and Yield with respect to such Participation Advances).

The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) the Agent shall have received on or before the date hereof those documents listed on Schedule B and (b) the Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers shall have received all fees and expenses required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Fee Letters.

(i) Purchasers’ Reliance. Each Seller acknowledges that the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon such Seller’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Originators.

(j) Collections. Such Seller Party will cause (1) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller, such Seller will (except as otherwise specified in Section 8.2(b)) remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, such Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers.

Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of The Seller Parties. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full, no Letter of Credit remains outstanding and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:

(a) Name Change, Jurisdiction of Organization, Offices, Records and Books of Accounts. Such Seller Party will not change its name, identity, corporate or other organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization (within the meaning of Sections 9-503 and/or 9-507 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) or relocate its chief executive office, principal place of business or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by the Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by Section 7.1(j) or by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Seller Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement acceptable to the Agent with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Servicers may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments (and need not give the Agent ten (10) days prior notice thereof) if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account; provided, further, however, that the Servicers may from time to time terminate a Collection Account Agreement with respect to a Collection Account and/or a Lock-Box if Obligors are instructed to make payments previously made to such Collection Account and/or Lock-Box to another existing Collection Account and/or Lock-Box. At least quarterly on the first Settlement Date of each calendar quarter, the Seller Parties will give written notice to the Agent of all changes in the instructions to the Obligors regarding payments made pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence since the prior such notice the Seller Parties delivered to the Agent (or, in the case of the first such notice, since the date hereof).

(c) Modifications to Writings, Contracts and Credit and Collection Policies. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, make any change to such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy that could materially (either individually or in the aggregate) adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or materially (either individually or in the aggregate) decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section 8.2(d), the Servicers will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or the Writing or Contract related thereto other than in accordance with such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Liens. No Seller will sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to the Writing or Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and each Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Agent and the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Seller or any Originator. No Seller will create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory, the financing or lease of which gives rise to any Receivable.

(e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization Date shall any Seller permit the Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves plus (iii) the Adjusted LC Participation Amount.

(f) Termination Date Determination. No Seller will designate the Termination Date (as defined in each Receivables Sale Agreement) under the Receivables Sale Agreement to which it is a party, or send any written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Purchasers, except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of such Receivables Sale Agreement.

(g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event, no Seller will make any Restricted Junior Payment if, after giving effect thereto, such Seller would fail to meet its obligations set forth in Section 7.2(e).

(h) Demand Notes. At no time shall (i) Dairy Group cause or permit the aggregate outstanding principal balance of its Demand Note to exceed $21,325,653 or (ii) Dairy Group II cause or permit the aggregate outstanding principal balance of its Demand Note to exceed $13,181,876.

Section 8.1 Designation of Servicers. (a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person or Persons (each such Person, a “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Each of the Persons identified on Schedule C hereto is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Receivables originated by such entity. The Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers shall, at any time following an Amortization Event, designate as Servicer any Person to succeed any existing Servicer or any successor Servicer.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Purchasers, no Servicer shall be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) a Seller and (ii) with respect to certain Charged Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. No Seller shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of a Servicer delegated to it by any Servicer. If at any time following an Amortization Event the Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other than the Persons identified on Schedule C hereto, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by any Servicer to any Seller may, at the discretion of the Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to the Servicers and to the Administrative Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) each of the Servicers shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all of its duties and responsibilities as a Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the applicable Servicer in matters relating to the discharge by such Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the applicable Servicer in order for communication to such Servicer and its subservicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. Each Servicer shall be responsible for providing any subservicer or other delegate of such Servicer with any notice given to such Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer. (a) Each Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable originated by such entity from time to time, all in accordance in all material respects with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance in all material respects with the applicable Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) Each Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections with respect to the Receivables originated by such entity directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, that to the extent that the Originator (other than a Local Originator) of the Receivable giving rise to such Collections, as applicable, currently permits the Obligor of such Receivable to pay such Collections to a local employee of such Originator, as applicable, such Servicer will insure that such local employees remit such Collections to a local depository account no less frequently than weekly, and within two (2) Business Days of such local

employee’s deposit of such Collections, such Servicer will cause such Collections to be deposited directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. With respect to payments relating to Receivables that are remitted directly to any Servicer, such Servicer will remit such payments (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, such Servicer will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers. Each Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. Prior to the delivery of any Collection Notice to any Collection Bank, in the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the applicable Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security (which identification shall occur no later than two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received therein), such Servicer shall promptly (and, in any event, no later than one (1) Business Day after such identification) remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances and cause such amounts to be removed from such Lock-Box or Collection Account. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicers, and the Servicers thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, each Seller and the Servicers shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Servicers shall administer the Collections with respect to the Receivables originated by each such entity in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicers shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicers shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of each of the Servicers or the Sellers prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicers shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicers shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the second Business Day following receipt by any Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicers may, in accordance with the applicable Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicers determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event and until such time as the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicers to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicers shall hold in trust for the Sellers and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Writings and Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable upon demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicers shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof turn over to the Sellers any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicers shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator or any Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Each Seller hereby agrees that the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall have “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of each Lock-Box, the Collection Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein. Each Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that, after the delivery of the Collection Notices, the Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse such Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Writings and Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than the Sellers or any Servicer.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of the Sellers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicers, the Originators or any Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Writings or Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Writings or Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of any Seller.

Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicers shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Financial Institution (i) on the 20^th calendar day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) and at such times as the Agent or the Required Purchasers shall request, a Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as the Agent or the Required Purchasers shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of the agreement by each of the Persons listed on Schedule C to act as a Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as each of the Persons listed on Schedule C shall continue to perform as a Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to such Persons collectively, a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on each Settlement

Date for the immediately preceding Settlement Period equal to 1% (one percent) per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the average Net Receivables Balance during such Settlement Period, as compensation for their servicing activities. Such Servicing Fee shall be allocated among the Persons listed on Schedule C as such parties shall mutually determine.

Section 9.1 Amortization Events. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Amortization Event:

(a) Any Seller Party shall fail (i) to make any payment or deposit of any amount consisting of Capital required hereunder when due, or (ii) to make any payment or deposit of any other amount required hereunder when due (including without limitation any Reimbursement Obligations or deposits required to be made to the LC Collateral Account) and such failure shall continue for two (2) consecutive Business Days, or (iii) to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, or (iv) to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement set forth in Section 7.1(a)(iv), (a)(v), (a)(viii) or (c) (second sentence only), and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) consecutive days or (v) to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement hereunder (other than as referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this subsection (a)) and such failure shall continue for five (5) consecutive Business Days.

(d) (i) Any Seller Party or Provider shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) any proceeding shall be instituted by or against any Seller Party or Provider seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property or (iii) any Seller Party or Provider shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above in this subsection (d).

(i) The “Termination Date” under and as defined in any Receivables Sale Agreement shall occur under any such Receivables Sale Agreement or any Seller or any Originator shall fail to observe any term or condition of any Receivables Sale Agreement or shall waive its right to enforce the terms and conditions of any Receivables Sale Agreement, or any Originator shall for any reason cease to transfer, or cease to have the legal capacity to transfer, or otherwise be incapable of transferring Receivables to any Seller under any Receivables Sale Agreement (other than an Immaterial Originator which ceases to transfer Receivables subject to and in accordance with Section 1.7 of any Receivables Sale Agreement).

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of any Seller Party or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to any Seller Party for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Seller Party under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, each Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to any Seller or any Servicer) relating to or resulting from:

(i) any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or any Originator in its capacity as seller under any Receivables Sale Agreement (or any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(ii) the failure by any Seller, any Servicer, any Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Writing or Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Writing or Contract included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure of any Originator to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to the Writing or Contract;

(iii) any failure of any Seller, any Servicer, any Originator to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iv) any products liability, personal injury or damage suit, or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any Writing or Contract or any Receivable;

(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Writing or Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of an Incremental Purchase, a Reinvestment or drawings under any Letter of Credit, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests, the issuance of any Letters of Credit or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any Seller, any Servicer, any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(x) any failure of any Seller to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with

respect thereto from the applicable Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of any Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to applicable Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement to which it is a party in consideration of the transfer thereunder by such Originator of any Receivable or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action;

(xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, a first priority perfected undivided percentage ownership interest (to the extent of the Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) or security interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

(xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivable, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

(xiii) any action or omission by any Seller Party that reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

(xiv) any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; and

(xv) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

This Section 10.1 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(a) If any Regulatory Requirement (i) subjects the LC Bank, any Purchaser or any Funding Source to any Taxes on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or this Agreement or the LC Bank’s, a Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s commitment or other obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, any Purchaser Interest, any Letter of Credit or any Participation Advances, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Purchaser or any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement or this Agreement (in each case, other than the following Taxes or changes in the rate of the following Taxes: (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the

account of, or liabilities of the LC Bank, a Funding Source or a Purchaser, or credit extended by the LC Bank, a Funding Source or a Purchaser pursuant to a Funding Agreement or this Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to the LC Bank, a Funding Source or a Purchaser of maintaining its commitment or performing its other obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on the LC Bank’s, a Funding Source’s or Purchaser’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitment or other obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the LC Bank, a Funding Source or a Purchaser under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Agent, the Sellers shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the LC Bank, the relevant Funding Source or the Purchaser, as applicable, such amounts charged to such LC Bank, Funding Source or Purchaser or such amounts to otherwise compensate such LC Bank, Funding Source or such Purchaser for such increased cost or such reduction. The term “Regulatory Requirement” shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) or any change therein after the date hereof or (ii) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority; provided that for purposes of this definition, (x) the United States bank regulatory rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modification to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted on December 15, 2009, (y) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof (whether or not having the force of law), and (z) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), shall in each case be deemed to be a “Regulatory Requirement” adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. The Sellers acknowledge that any LC Bank, Funding Source or Purchaser may institute measures in anticipation of a final or proposed Regulatory Requirement (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such LC Bank’s or Purchaser’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Sellers under this Section 10.2 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such final or proposed Regulatory Requirement, and the Sellers agree to pay such charges or compensation to the Agent, for the benefit of such LC Bank, Funding Source or Purchaser, following demand therefor without regard to whether such proposed Regulatory Requirement has been adopted or whether such effective date has occurred. The Sellers further acknowledge that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such LC Bank, Purchaser or Funding Source.

(b) A certificate of the applicable LC Bank, Purchaser or Funding Source setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such LC Bank, Purchaser or Funding Source pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 shall be delivered to the Sellers

and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Sellers shall pay the Agent, for distribution to such LC Bank, Purchaser or Funding Source, the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.

(c) If any Purchaser or any Funding Source has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Regulatory Requirement appearing in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2, and such Purchaser or Funding Source believes that having the facility publicly rated by one credit rating agency would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or Funding Source to be material, such Purchaser or Funding Source shall provide written notice to the Sellers and the Servicer (a “Ratings Request”) that such Purchaser or Funding Source intends to request a public rating of the facility from one credit rating agency selected by such Purchaser or Funding Source and reasonably acceptable to the Sellers, of at least “A” or its equivalent (the “Required Rating”). The Sellers and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide the applicable credit rating agency (either directly or through distribution to the Agent, Purchaser or Funding Source), any information requested by such credit rating agency for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating. The Purchasers shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agency for providing the rating and the Sellers shall pay all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agency for their continued monitoring of the rating. Nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall preclude any Purchaser or Funding Source from demanding compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating shall have been obtained, or shall require any Purchaser or Funding Source to obtain any rating on the facility prior to demanding any such compensation from the Sellers.

Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Each Seller shall reimburse the Agent, the LC Bank and each Purchaser on demand for all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of any auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of any Seller Party on behalf of the Agent, the LC Bank or the Purchasers (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1(d) with respect to annual audits), reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for each Purchaser, the LC Bank and the Agent (which such counsel may be employees of any Purchaser, the LC Bank or the Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising any Purchaser, the LC Bank or the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. Each Seller shall reimburse the Agent on demand for any and all costs and expenses of the Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event. Each Seller shall reimburse each Company on demand for all other costs and expenses incurred by such Company (“Other Costs”), including, without limitation, the cost of auditing such Company’s books by certified public accountants, the cost of rating the Commercial Paper by independent financial rating agencies, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for such Company or any counsel for any shareholder of such Company with respect to advising such Company or such shareholder as to matters relating to such Company’s operations.

This Section 10.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 10.7.

Section 10.4 Allocations. Each Company shall allocate the liability for Other Costs among the Sellers and other Persons with whom such Company has entered into agreements to purchase interests in receivables (“Other Sellers”). If any Other Costs are attributable to the Sellers and not attributable to any Other Seller, the Sellers shall be solely liable for such Other Costs. However, if Other Costs are attributable to Other Sellers and not attributable to the Sellers, such Other Sellers shall be solely liable for such Other Costs. All allocations to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article X shall be made by the applicable Company in its sole discretion and shall be binding on the Sellers and the Servicers.

Section 10.5 Accounting Based Consolidation Event. Upon demand by the Agent, the Sellers shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts as such Funding Source reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse such Funding Source for any (i) fee, expense or increased cost charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Funding Source, (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such Funding Source’s capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Funding Source or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost determined by such Funding Source to be allocable to the Sellers or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, in each case resulting from or in connection with the consolidation, for financial and/or regulatory accounting purposes, of all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of Company or, if applicable, its related commercial paper issuer, that are subject to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of a Funding Source. Amounts under this Section 10.5 may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by the Conduit or by any Funding Source. A certificate of the Funding Source setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Funding Source pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be delivered to the Sellers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Sellers shall pay such Funding Source the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.

Section 10.6 Required Ratings. The Agent shall have the right at any time to request that a public rating of the Purchaser Interests of at least “A” or its equivalent (the “Agent Required Rating”) be obtained from one credit rating agency acceptable to the Agent. Each of the Sellers and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with the Agent’s efforts to obtain the Agent Required Rating, and shall provide the Agent, for distribution to the applicable credit rating agency, any information requested by such credit rating agency for purposes of providing the Agent Required Rating. Any such request (a “Agent Ratings Request”) shall be in writing, and if the Agent Required Rating is not obtained within 60 days following the date of such Agent Ratings Request (unless the failure to obtain the Agent Required Rating is solely the result of the Agent’s failure to provide the credit rating agency with sufficient information to permit the credit rating agency to perform its analysis, and is not the result of the Sellers’ or the Servicer’s failure to cooperate or provide sufficient information to the Agent), (i) upon written notice by the Agent to the Sellers, which notice shall be given no less than 60 days following such failure to obtain the Agent Required Rating, the Amortization Date shall occur, and (ii) outstanding Capital shall thereafter incur the Default Fee. The Purchasers shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit

rating agency for providing the Agent Required Rating, and the Sellers shall pay all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agency for its continued monitoring of the Agent Required Rating.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.7) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Seller. The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10.7, such Seller shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Sellers. The Sellers shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Sellers by a Purchaser (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Financial Institutions. Each Financial Institution shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Financial Institution or any Company in its Purchaser Group (but only to the extent that any Seller has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Sellers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Purchaser’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Financial Institution or any Company in its Purchaser Group, in each case, that are payable or

paid by the Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Financial Institution by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Financial Institution hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Financial Institution under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Financial Institution from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) Status of Purchasers. (i) Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Sellers and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Seller or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Seller or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by a Seller or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Seller or the Agent as will enable such Seller or the Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 10.7(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Seller is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Sellers and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Seller or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Sellers and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Seller or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable;

(1) in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or any successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E

or any successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XII-1 to the effect that such Foreign Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of either Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or any successor form; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or any successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XII-2 or Exhibit XII-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Purchaser is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XII-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Sellers and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Seller or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Agent to comply with their

obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Sellers and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 10.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 10.7, the term “Purchaser” includes the LC Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 11.1 Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby designates and appoints Rabobank to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The LC Bank hereby designates

and appoints Rabobank to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document in respect of protecting and maintaining the security interest granted under Section 14.14(a), and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or the LC Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall act solely as agent for the Purchasers and the LC Bank to the extent set forth herein, and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Seller Party or any of such Seller Party’s successors or assigns. The Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the date on which the Commitments have terminated, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and all Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full. The LC Bank and each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to file such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements against the Seller Parties as it may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion.

Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to the LC Bank or any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Seller Party contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Seller Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to the LC Bank or any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller Parties. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event unless the Agent has received notice from a Seller, the LC Bank or a Purchaser.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Sellers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the LC Bank, the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Financial Institutions, provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the LC Bank and the Purchasers. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the LC Bank, the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the LC Bank and all the Purchasers.

Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. The LC Bank and each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of any Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Financial Institutions agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, ratably based on the ratio of each Financial Institution’s Commitment to the aggregate Commitment (or, following the termination of the Commitments, the ratio of Capital of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchaser Group of which such Financial Institution is a part to the aggregate Capital of all Purchaser Interests), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that the Agent shall not be entitled to any indemnity or reimbursement under this Section 11.6 for any expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 11.7 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests or the making of Participation Advances pursuant to this

Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser (including any Purchaser that is an LC Participant) and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution,” “Related Financial Institution,” “Purchaser,” “Financial Institutions,” “Related Financial Institutions,” “LC Participant” and “Purchasers” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.8 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Administrative Seller, the LC Bank and the Purchasers, and the Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Purchasers during such five-day period shall appoint, with the consent of the Administrative Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, from among the Purchasers a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Required Purchasers during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the Sellers and the Servicers (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

Section 12.1 Assignments. (a) Each Seller Party, the LC Bank, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by any Company of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such Company shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, each Seller Party, the LC Bank, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Company of this Agreement or of all or any of the Purchaser Interests of any Company shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Company” explicitly referred to and included such party (provided that (i) the Purchaser Interests of any such assignee that is a Company or a commercial paper conduit shall accrue CP Costs based on such Company’s Company Costs or on such commercial paper conduit’s cost of funds, respectively, and (ii) the Purchaser Interests of any other such assignee shall accrue Yield pursuant to Section 4.1), and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of any Company hereunder. Neither any Seller nor any Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Financial Institutions”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including in its capacity as an LC Participant, if applicable) pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and such

selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and the consent of the Administrative Seller shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment; provided, however, that in the event the Administrative Seller fails to consent to any proposed Purchasing Financial Institution during the thirty (30) day period following the Administrative Seller’s initial receipt of a request for its consent to any such assignment, only the consent of the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall thereafter be required with respect to any such assignment. Each assignee of a Financial Institution must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Agent or the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and such Company (such opinion may be delivered by in-house counsel of such assignee). Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent, such selling Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial Institution (including, without limitation, the applicable obligations of a Related Financial Institution) under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by any Seller, the Purchasers, the LC Bank or the Agent shall be required.

(c) Each of the Financial Institutions agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s (an “Affected Financial Institution”), such Affected Financial Institution shall be obliged, at the request of the Company in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or (y) another funding entity nominated by the Agent and acceptable to the Company in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Financial Institution; provided that the Affected Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital owing to the Financial Institutions in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and all accrued but unpaid Yield, fees and other costs and expenses owing to such Affected Financial Institution.

Section 12.2 Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests and Participation Advances of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and each Seller, the LC Bank, each Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this

Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i). Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Sellers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Purchaser Interests or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 12.3 Federal Reserve. Any Financial Institution may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Purchaser Interest and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Financial Institution to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Financial Institution from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Financial Institution as a party hereto.

Section 12.4 Replacement of Purchaser Groups. If any Purchaser or Funding Source requests compensation under Section 10.2(a) or if any Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Purchaser or LC Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser or LC Bank pursuant to Section 10.7, then the Sellers may, at their sole expense and effort (including payment of any applicable processing and recordation fees), upon notice to such Purchaser or Funding Source and the Agent, require each Purchaser in the related Purchaser Group to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.1), all of its respective interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 10.7) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Company or Financial Institution, as applicable, if a Company or Financial Institution accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Sellers shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a member of a Purchaser Group hereunder, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) each member of such assigning Purchaser Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Capital, accrued CP Costs and Yield in respect thereof, accrued fees and all other Aggregate Unpaids payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Capital) or the Sellers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments under Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.7. A Purchaser shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Sellers to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments. (a) No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1(b). Each Company, each Seller and the Agent, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, may enter into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that with respect to any modification or waiver, the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper notes issued by any Company shall have confirmed that the ratings of the commercial paper notes of such Company will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such modification or waiver; and provided, further, that no such modification or waiver shall:

(i) without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the Liquidity Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by any Seller or any Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Yield, any fees or any CP Costs (or any component of Yield or CP Costs), (C) reduce any fee payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, (D) except pursuant to Article XII hereof, change the amount of the Capital of any Purchaser, any Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share, any Company’s Pro Rata Share, any LC Participant’s LC Share, any Financial Institution’s Commitment or LC Amount or any Company’s Company Purchase Limit (other than, to the extent applicable, pursuant to Section 4.6), (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Purchasers or this Section 14.1(b), (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by any Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Eligible Receivable,” “Loss Reserve,” “Yield and Servicer Reserve,” “Default Ratio,” “Delinquency Ratio,” “Dilution Reserve,” or “Dilution Ratio” or amend or modify Section 9.1(f) or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

(ii) without the written consent of the then Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial Institutions, but with the consent of the Administrative Seller, the Agent may amend this Agreement solely to add

additional Persons as Financial Institutions hereunder and (ii) the Agent, the Required Purchasers and each Company may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Section 14.13 or any other provision of this Agreement without the consent of any Seller Party, provided that such amendment has no negative impact upon such Seller Party and provided further that the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper notes issued by any Company shall have confirmed that the ratings of the commercial paper notes of such Company will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such amendments. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon each Seller Party, the Purchasers and the Agent.

Section 14.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy, electronic facsimile transmission, e-mail or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses, telecopy numbers or e-mail addresses set forth on Schedule E hereto or at such other address, telecopy number or e-mail address as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.2. Each Seller hereby authorizes the Agent and the Purchasers to effect purchases and, selections of CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods, Tranche Periods and Discount Rates based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or applicable Purchaser in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Seller. Each Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent and each applicable Purchaser a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of such Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Agent or applicable Purchaser, the records of the Agent or applicable Purchaser shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 14.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers. (a) Each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller will, upon the request of the Agent or the Required Purchasers, execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or

assignments thereof, and such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such Purchaser Interests. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct any Seller or any Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at the Sellers’ expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee. The Sellers or the Servicers (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Sellers as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of any Seller as debtor and to file financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and assignments thereof) necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers and the LC Bank in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. The financing statements described in this Section 14.4(b) may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Agent may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, and of the security interest granted hereunder, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property” or “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or “all personal property of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The authorization set forth in the second sentence of this Section 14.4(b) is intended to meet all requirements for authorization by a debtor under Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, including, without limitation, Section 9-509 thereof.

Section 14.5 Confidentiality. (a) Each Seller Party, the LC Bank and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent, the LC Bank and each Purchaser and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such LC Bank, such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such LC Bank’s, such Seller Party’s and such Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential).

Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Dairy Group as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Administrative Seller”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each of the Sellers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Seller has been appointed the Administrative Seller.

joint and several obligations of each of the Sellers without preferences or distinction between them.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Seller hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Agent or any Purchaser under or in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Seller hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Agent or any Purchaser at any time or times in respect of any default by any Seller in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Agent or any Purchaser in respect of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Aggregate Unpaids or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Agent or any Purchaser with respect to the failure by any Seller to comply with any of its respective obligations, it being the intention of each Seller that, so long as any of the Aggregate Unpaids hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Seller under this Section 14.19 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Seller under this Section 14.19 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Seller or the Agent or any Purchaser.

(d) Each Seller represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchasers that such Seller is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Seller and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Aggregate Unpaids. Each Seller hereby covenants that such Seller will continue to keep informed of the other Seller’s financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Aggregate Unpaids.

(e) Each Seller agrees that the Agent and the Purchasers may, in their sole and absolute discretion, select the Receivables of any one of the Sellers for sale or application to the Aggregate Unpaids, without regard to the ownership of such Receivables, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Receivables owned by any of the Sellers.

(f) The provisions of this Section 14.19 are made for the benefit of the Agent, the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Sellers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Agent, any Purchasers or any such successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the

other Sellers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Sellers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 14.19 shall remain in effect until all of the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied, the Commitments have terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Sellers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 14.19 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Each Seller hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Seller with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, any payments made by it to the Agent or any Purchaser with respect to any of the Aggregate Unpaids or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding. Any claim which any Seller may have against any other Seller with respect to any payments to the Agent or any Purchaser hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Aggregate Unpaids arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Aggregate Unpaids and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Seller, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Aggregate Unpaids shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Seller therefor.

(h) Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Seller to any other Seller is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Aggregate Unpaids. Each Seller hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, such Seller will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Seller owing to such Seller until the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Seller shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Seller as trustee for the Agent and the Purchasers, and such Seller shall deliver any such amounts to the Agent for application to the Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with Article II.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the date hereof.

In addition to the foregoing costs, if the Administrative Seller shall request any Purchaser Interest during any period of time determined by the Credit Agricole Company (or by the Credit Agricole Company’s agent on its behalf) in its sole discretion to result in incrementally higher Company Costs with respect to the Credit Agricole Company applicable to such Purchaser Interest, the Capital associated with any such Purchaser Interest shall, during such period, be deemed to be funded by the Credit Agricole Company in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other receivable purchase or financing facilities) for purposes of determining such additional Company Costs applicable only to such special pool and charged each day during such period against such Capital. Each Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue Company Costs with respect to the Credit Agricole Company each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the Credit Agricole Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper.

The above is a true and accurate accounting pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2014 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement;” capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth therefor in the Agreement), by and among Dairy Group Receivables, L.P. and Dairy Group Receivables II, L.P., as Sellers, the Servicers party thereto, the Financial Institutions party thereto, the Companies party thereto, and Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen - Boerenleenbank B.A. “Rabobank International”, New York Branch, as Agent, and I have no knowledge of the existence of any conditions or events that constitute an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event during or at the end of the accounting period covered by this monthly report or as of the date of this certificate, except as set forth below.

This Performance Undertaking (this “Undertaking”), dated as of [ ], is executed by Dean Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Provider”), in favor of [Seller], a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and assigns, “[Seller]”), and Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen - Boerenleenbank B.A. “Rabobank International”, New York Branch, for itself and as Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Agent” and, together with [Seller], the “Recipients”).

1. Each of the Originators party thereto (such Originators are the “Originators” hereunder) and [Seller] have entered into [Seller’s Receivables Sale Agreement] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which each Originator, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling its right, title and interest in and to its accounts receivable to [Seller].

2. [Seller], together with [ ], as Sellers, each of the Originators and certain other Subsidiaries of Provider, as Servicers, the “Companies” (as defined therein), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as “Financial Institutions” (as defined therein) and Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen - Boerenleenbank B.A. “Rabobank International”, New York Branch, as Agent, are parties to the Sixth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Sale Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, [Seller], subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling undivided percentage ownership interests to the Purchasers thereunder in the accounts receivable purchased from, among others, the Originators under the Sale Agreement.

3. Each Originator is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Provider and Provider is expected to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the sale of accounts receivable by such Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, and the performance by each Originator of its obligations as a Servicer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).

4. It is a condition precedent to the willingness of [Seller] to enter into the Sale Agreement and the willingness of the Agent and the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement that Provider execute and deliver this Undertaking, agreeing to guaranty the due and punctual performance by each Originator of its Obligations (as hereinafter defined) as provided herein.

5. Provider acknowledges that [Seller] is entering into the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Provider’s guaranty of the due and punctual performance by each Originator of its Obligations as provided herein.

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. In addition:

“Obligations” means, collectively, (a) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each Originator under and pursuant to the Sale Agreement and each other document executed and delivered by such Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by such Originator under the Sale Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason (including, without limitation, interest accruing following the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Originator, at the applicable rate specified in the Agreements, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable as a claim in bankruptcy) and (b) all obligations of each Originator (i) as a Servicer under the Purchase Agreement or (ii) that arise pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 14.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement as a result of its termination as a Servicer.

Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Obligations. Provider hereby guarantees to the Recipients the full and punctual payment and performance by each Originator of its Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations of each Originator under the Agreements and each other document executed and delivered by any such Originator pursuant to the Agreements and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by any Originator to such Recipient (including any Purchaser) from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Recipient (including any Purchaser) in favor of any Originator or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should any Originator default in the payment or performance of any of its Obligations, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, each Recipient (or its respective assigns) may cause the immediate performance by Provider of such Originator’s Obligations and cause any payment Obligations of such Originator to become forthwith due and payable to any Recipient (or its respective assigns), without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Provider shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent the failure to perform such Obligations by such Originator results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve such Originator from performing in full its Obligations under the Agreements or Provider of its undertaking hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties.

Section 3. Provider’s Further Agreements to Pay. Provider further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipients (and their respective assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipients, all reasonable costs and

expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipients (or any of them) in connection with the Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Bank One Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Bank One Prime Rate changes; provided, however, that in no event shall Provider be required to pay to any Recipient any interest on interest hereunder.

Section 4. Waivers by Provider. Provider waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by any Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that any Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by any Originator or asserting any other rights of a Recipient under this Undertaking. Provider warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from such Originator, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Originator, and that it is not relying on any Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Provider also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Each Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Provider and without relieving Provider of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with such Originator and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as such Recipient in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Provider agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 8 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of such Originator or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though such Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of such Originator or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Provider may have at any time against such Originator in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of such Originator to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Provider shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Any Originator. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Originator; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator or Provider to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Originator for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Provider and shall constitute the primary obligation of Provider. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or for any other reason with respect to any Originator, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Provider.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Provider hereby represents and warrants to each Recipient that:

(a) Existence and Standing. Provider is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Provider has and holds all power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to so qualify or hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. Provider has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Undertaking, perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions herein contemplated. The execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking, the performance of its obligations and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and Provider has duly executed and delivered this Undertaking. This Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Provider enforceable against Provider in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award,

injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property and, do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of Provider. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking and the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of Provider dated as of December 31, 2002 heretofore delivered to Recipients have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Provider and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for the period ended on such date. Since the later of (i) December 31, 2002, and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred that would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Taxes. Provider and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Provider or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The United States income tax returns of Provider have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Provider and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

(f) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of Provider’s knowledge threatened against or affecting Provider, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Provider and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Provider to perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or enforceability of any of this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of any Recipient hereunder. Neither Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body and does not have any material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d).

(g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by or on behalf of Provider to Recipients (or their respective assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Undertaking, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by Provider to Recipients (or their respective assigns) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances made or presented.

(h) Not a Holding Company or an Investment Company. Provider is not a “holding company” or a “subsidiary holding company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any successor statute. Provider is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

(i) Compliance with Law. Provider and its Subsidiaries have complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7. Covenants. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Undertaking terminates in accordance with its terms, Provider hereby covenants, as to itself, as set forth below:

(i) Financial Reporting. Provider will maintain, for itself and each of its Subsidiaries, a system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP, and furnish or cause to be furnished to the Recipients (and their respective assigns):

(1) Annual Reporting. Within 90 days after the close of each of its respective fiscal years, to the extent not furnished under the Purchase Agreement, audited, unqualified consolidated financial statements (which shall include balance sheets, statements of income and retained earnings and a statement of cash flows) of Provider for such fiscal year certified in a manner acceptable to the Agent by independent public accountants acceptable to the Agent.

(2) Quarterly Reporting. Within 45 days after the close of the first three (3) quarterly periods of each of its respective fiscal years, to the extent not furnished under the Purchase Agreement, (A) consolidated balance sheets of Provider and its Subsidiaries as at the close of each such period and (B) consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and a statement of cash flows for Provider for the period from the beginning of such fiscal year to the end of such quarter, all certified by its respective chief financial officer or treasurer.

(3) Shareholders Statements and Reports. Promptly upon the furnishing thereof to the shareholders of Provider, to the extent not electronically available, copies of all financial statements, reports and proxy statements so furnished.

(4) S.E.C. Filings. Promptly upon the filing thereof, to the extent not electronically available, copies of all annual, quarterly, monthly or other regular reports that Provider or any of its Subsidiaries files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(5) Copies of Dean Credit Agreement Amendments. Promptly after execution thereof, copies of each amendment to the Dean Credit Agreement as in

effect from time to time notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in the definition of “Dean Credit Agreement” set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(6) Other Information. Promptly, from time to time, such other information, documents, records or reports relating to the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of Provider as any Recipient (or its assigns) may from time to time reasonably request.

(ii) Notices. Provider will notify Recipients in writing of any of the following promptly upon learning of the occurrence thereof, describing the same and, if applicable, the steps being taken with respect thereto:

(1) Judgment and Proceedings. (A) The entry of any judgment or decree against Provider or any of its respective Subsidiaries if the aggregate amount of all judgments and decrees then outstanding against such Provider and its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (B) the institution of any litigation, arbitration proceeding or governmental proceeding against Provider that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(2) Material Adverse Effect. The occurrence of any event or condition that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

(3) Defaults Under Other Agreements. The occurrence of a default or an event of default under any other financing arrangement pursuant to which Provider is a debtor or an obligor that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) Compliance with Laws and Preservation of Existence. Provider will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject if noncompliance with any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Provider will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, preserve and maintain its legal existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its organization, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction where its business is conducted, except where the failure to so qualify or remain qualified could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iv) Credit Agreement Amendment. Provider will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend or otherwise modify the Dean Credit Agreement (as in effect from time to time notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in the definition of “Dean Credit Agreement” set forth in the Purchase Agreement) or any document executed in connection therewith in any way that would be materially adverse to the Recipients.

Section 8. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Obligations are paid in full, Provider: (A) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of any Recipient, the Agent or any Purchaser against any Originator, (B) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of each Recipient (including each Purchaser) against any Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Provider might now have or hereafter acquire against such Originator that arise from the existence or performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder, (C) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Originator in respect of any liability of Provider to such Originator and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by any Recipient (including any Purchaser). The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Originator now or hereafter owed to Provider is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. Provider agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Provider will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Originator to Provider until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Provider shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Provider as trustee for Recipients (and their respective assigns) and be paid over to Recipients (or their respective assigns) on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Provider under the other provisions of this Undertaking. The provisions of this Section 8 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of any Recipient under any separate subordination agreement which such Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with Provider.

Section 9. Termination of Performance Undertaking. Provider’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Purchase Agreement is terminated, provided, that this Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Originator or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not any Recipient (or its respective assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal bankruptcy code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Provider under this Undertaking.

Section 10. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of any Originator and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Originator under the federal bankruptcy code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code with respect to any Originator or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or

reorganization statutes to which any Originator is subject shall postpone the obligations of Provider under this Undertaking.

Section 11. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations, each Recipient (and its respective assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Provider (any such notice being expressly waived by Provider) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Termination Event, to set off and apply any deposits and other sums against the obligations of Provider under this Undertaking, whether or not such Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 12. Taxes. All payments to be made by Provider hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Provider is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, any Recipient receive a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

Section 13. Further Assurances. Provider agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of any Recipient (or its assigns), provide information relating to the business and affairs of Provider as such Recipient may reasonably request. Provider also agrees to do all such things and execute all such documents as any Recipient (or its assigns) may reasonably consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Undertaking and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of such Recipient hereunder.

Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Undertaking shall be binding upon Provider, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Recipient and its successors and assigns. Provider may not assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Recipient. Each Recipient may assign or otherwise transfer the Agreements, any other documents executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder or any other agreement or note held by them evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, or sell participations in any interest therein, to any other entity or other person, and such other entity or other person shall thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof granted to the Recipients herein.

Section 15. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Provider therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Recipient. No failure on the part of any Recipient to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 16. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be addressed as follows: if to Provider, at the address set forth

beneath its signature hereto, and if to any Recipient, at the address set forth beneath its signature hereto, or at such other addresses as each of Provider or any Recipient may designate in writing to the other. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (1) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (2) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (3) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 16.

Section 17. Risk Retention. The Provider represents and warrants, as of the Effective Date and each date on which Receivables are sold to a Seller pursuant to a Receivables Sale Agreement, that:

(a) the Provider, through one or more of the Seller Parties, was and is directly or indirectly involved in the creation of the Receivables and has established and is managing the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;

(b) the Provider retains directly or through the Originators and/or the Sellers (which are direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Provider) a net economic interest in the Receivables in accordance with Article 405(1)(d) of the Capital Requirements (the “Retained Interest”) that in the aggregate is at least 5% of the nominal value of the securitized exposures represented by the Transaction Documents; and

The Provider covenants and agrees that, until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, no Letter of Credit remains outstanding and the Receivables Purchase Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, it shall not directly or indirectly sell the Retained Interest or subject the Retained Interest to any credit risk mitigation or any short positions or any other hedge in a manner which would be contrary to Article 405(1) of the Capital Requirements. The Provider shall promptly furnished to the Agent and to each Purchaser such notices, information, documents, tapes, data, records or reports and information regarding the Retained Interest, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Originators, the Sellers, and the credit quality and performance of the Receivables and the Collections as Agent or such Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request in order to enable Agent or such Purchaser or any of its Funding Sources or Affiliates to comply with its obligations under Articles 404 through 410 of the Capital Requirements.

Section 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS UNDERTAKING SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 19. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PROVIDER AND EACH RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS UNDERTAKING, THE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION

THEREWITH OR DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND EACH OF PROVIDER AND EACH RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 20. Bankruptcy Petition. Provider hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior Indebtedness of each Company it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any such Company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 21. Miscellaneous. This Undertaking constitutes the entire agreement of Provider with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Obligations. The provisions of this Undertaking are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Provider hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of Provider’s liability under this Undertaking, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Undertaking to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Provider or any Recipient, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. Any provisions of this Undertaking which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise specified, references herein to “Section” shall mean a reference to sections of this Undertaking. This Undertaking may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Undertaking. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Undertaking by electronic transmission (including via e-mail or other facsimile transmission) shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Undertaking.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Provider has caused this Undertaking to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
